Special insulation for special conditions

Steam and gas turbines have two things in common: high temperatures and severe noise production. Effective turbine insulation has a lot to do: it has to minimise energy losses for the sake of cost-effectiveness, it has to eliminate the risk of anyone getting burnt and it has to get noise levels down below the statutory limits.

As a long-standing partner of well-known power plant operators, KAEFER has looked closely at insulation solutions for steam and gas turbines and offers a tailor-made system for every requirement. We will be happy to advise you on whether sprayed-, mattress or conventional insulation is the best solution for your plant. Get in touch with us.

KAEFER has developed a special mineral fibre spray method (KAE 140/bio-soluble) for insulating steam turbines without asbestos, which has many advantages.

The spray insulation is applied directly on site. A steel core stabilises the underside, whereas the upper side is self-supporting. A joint connects the two sides and armoured webbing ensures that the layers form a stable compound.
